Israel and Georgia agreed to expand bilateral air traffic

Flight frequencies between the two countries will increase from six weekly flights to ten. An additional agreement will be in Tbilisi in few days
 
Transportation Minister, Yisrael Katz, and Georgian Minister of Economy, Vera Kobalia, agreed last week to increase flight frequencies between the two countries from six weekly flights to ten weekly flights for each side.
 
Only one airline, a Georgian one, has served the Tbilisi-Tel Aviv route so far, but additional flights are in the works for Israeli airline Arkia. Another Israeli airline might join the route as well.
 
The ministers have also agreed that each country will allow three airlines to operate the route between Tibilisy, Georgia to Israel instead of only one. An agreement on new bilateral air traffic ties will be signed between the two sides in Tbilisi in few days.
 
 In a press conference held by the Georgian Minister, she noted that “We are seeing growing numbers of tourists heading back and forth in recent months, and the current flight agreements are too limited. Try and book a flight from here to Georgia and you won’t be able to find a seat. I had to wait two weeks until space opened up.”
